Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee ruled that redrawing the boundaries of the Masjid Jalan Hatin parish to create a new parish for Surau Al Marjan, Flat PPRT, Taman Manggis is permissible. However, there is no need to upgrade Surau Al Marjan to a mosque at this time. It is to remain as a surau where Friday prayers are held.
